Lisa Fransson is a bilingual writer. In her native Swedish, she’s an award winning children’s author, whereas in her adopted English she’s a writer of novels, short fiction and poetry.

Lisa’s latest novel, The Shape of Guilt, has been acclaimed by reviewers as being “emotionally complex”, “beautifully weird” and “gorgeous and provocative”. It was recently selected to be featured in a week reading promotion, which will be promoted by 47 libraries.

Her five (so far) children’s books in Swedish have proven to be popular in schools and are frequently used in reading projects together with teaching guides and school visits from Lisa.

Lisa is also a translator and is currently working on translating a best-selling novel from Swedish to English in order for it to be read by an agent who is showing a keen interest.

Her poems and short stories have been widely published. She’s currently working on her second novel in English and her next children’s book in Swedish.

Lisa is represented by Intersaga Literary Agency, and The Shape of Guilt is published by époque press.
